!! HODL !!
Also, how do I mine on the CPU then? I see no option? Why does it not automatically mine on CPU?

To mine on CPU, you need pooler's CPU miner. cgminer won't mine with CPU.

Hi, I have recently downloaded cgminer, and I am trying to mine "auroracoin".

I have followed a guide that basically told me to download cgminer ( I got 4.0.1 from the official site)
Then I use the following command to start cgminer:
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp:http://aur.cryptocoins.at:3340 -u Me.worker1 -p pass

First problem: "--scrypt is not a recognized option"

When I remove the "--scrypt" the miner starts and then does not mine more than 0.00 h/s..

command to start:
Code:
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp:http://aur.cryptocoins.at:3340 -u Myname.worker1 -p 1234

What am I missing?
